POLAR BEAR'S FEET, EARTH 2009, ACMI 10am & 1pm

Polar Beer’s endangered feet, remind us  how global warming is affecting our planet and the creatures in it, by our  own actions and global footprint.

For one of the best film’s you’ll ever want to see, Earth, 2009, is screening at the Australian Center for the  Moving Image, at 10am and 1pm each day. Earth features in the Films From The Vault section of the ACMI.

“Marvel at the wonders of Mother Nature in this breathtaking documentary, Earth. Five years in the making, extraordinary camerawork captures a full year in the life of the planet in 200 locations over 21 countries. Running time: 95 mins.”

Wow –  beautiful cinematography with a powerful message. The film centers on a Fijian man’s discovery that his native coral reef is in decline due to global warming and then it traverses the plight of creatures of the earth, across the globe. As I was born in Fiji, the film particularly moved me. James Earl Jones, does the narration and the film also screens at The Polynesian Cultural Center, in Obama’s home US state, of Hawaii. When on your next vacation to Australia or Hawaii, take the children with you, to see it. Profound in Imax!
